Preview 2nd Qualifying Final: Brisbane V Richmond @ Gabba, 02/10/2020 7:50pm

I would've said Rioli if it was 6-8 weeks ago but has been good since Dreamtime. Plus he's a big-time finals player.
Also, would've said Castagna but he is immune from being dropped, 4 years now I think. Also, if it was out of Aarts and George his experience in finals cant be underestimated.

Dimma said, about Macca and Pickett "make no mistake those guys will be playing".

That leaves Aarts, he has been great but I'm thinking for this week anyway he could well miss, due to team structures.

gimme Artsey any day over rioli

Still plenty of tickets on sale, hope it's going to be a full house, it would just be wrong otherwise.

Feel like buying a few extra random GA seats and filling them with cutouts programmed to yell 'Dusty!' every 5 minutes.

No Lunch ... I thought he was (almost) a certainty

adelaide ?

If we lose we will have to go via Adelaide to the gf I don't think Geelong will beat port

 

[tigs2010]

Have we ever won a flag without Lynch?

1980

 

[SavDog23]

Park Dusty in the goal square and he will kick 10

 

[tigs2010]

Game feels like a standard game

 

[Rubber Hips]

This is where we will win, Dusty won't be needed in the midfield as it will be stacked with Meatball and Bolton coming in.
Dusty 75% as a forward = win

Classic 4 point game

Damien Hardwick announced on AFL 360 that Chol is the likely replacement for Lynch.
Said that Chol had a quiet first half against Adelaide Crows but he improved in the second half.

 

[damicky]

Would we win with Lynch? Yes

Will we win without Lynch? Still yes

I'm happy to give him another go. He is good when he's on and horrible when he's not.
If Lynch was playing, he clearly goes out.
Reckon he might step up fri night though.

According to Gerard Healy we got smacked by Port.




Had enough of this muppet. Never gives us anything and he's virtually blowing the Lions and their chances against us (in the intro).

um......2017

um......2017

Adelaide's Tom Lynch didn't help them, therefore assisted us

Just a typical hater!

Similar weather in Melbourne at last for two days anyway.

Just can't get excited for this game, last year I headed to a packed London Tavern to meet up with some mates to watch the game, atmosphere was electric.

This year I will be at home watching on my own, have become a bit disinterested lately because of this.

I think poor old Ross makes way for Prestia.
Bolton is trickier. He's been playing midfield all year, so for a final you shouldn't expect him to outperform Rioli, Castagna or Aarts in the presumably well-drilled and very specific forward roles they've been playing all season.
Personally, I lean towards Chol making way and Dusty/Caddy taking his spot up forward.
But, part of me wants to retain Chol for the structure and surely he can't be as bad as his last game?

Nice headache for the selection committee to have: and we also have Higgins, Markov, Broad not even entering our thought.

Watch it and listen to the boys here, just like having a few mates around.

Prestia middle means guys like Lambert, Edwards Shai etc more small fwd taking one of George, Dan or Jakes spots.

Start the off season fellas.

Carro declared our season is over as Lynch being out is the tipping point.
